User summary

Storyloft endnotes keep citations and asides at the back of your book while superscript references stay in the prose. Authors searching for Add Endnote or View Endnotes use the manuscript Contents tools—not the Notes library. Format Sources inserts quick citation templates into the text; the Endnotes dialog manages the numbered list itself. Eddy research can become an endnote in one click.

What it does

  • Contents footer: View Endnotes, Add Endnote
  • Dialogs Endnotes / Add Endnote / Edit Endnote with **Content ***, Web Source / Book Source templates, Enter URL:
  • Hover on refs: Endnote #N, Edit endnote
